Open Letter to Boston-Area Bars and Restaurants

See the guy in the photo above? That’s Dave Roberts. Former Red Sox. Cancer Survivor. Base Stealer. Keeper of the Awesome.

He’s now the first base coach for the San Diego Padres, who are in town this week to play the Sox. So if during his time in town he happens into your establishment, understand that he is not to be charged for any alcoholic beverages. In fact, you should consider it an honor that he might sit his righteous, 2004 ALCS-savin’ ass down in your place of business and quaff free booze.

He’s the man who helped changed the course of mighty rivers in this city. And he has my undying respect and gratitude.

Honestly, what kind of a man would charge Dave Roberts for a beer? No kind of man at all.

Ugh...I see the damn Padres enough here throughout the year. Gross. HOWEVER, I will be stalking the man in the above picture next time he is in Denver. Wait, on second thought, I'd better not. I'll probably start crying like a blubbering fool if I met him in person.

i suppose if you take away those two runs, the sox would have won. BUT there were too many other factors to lay the blame on aceves, sorry, I ain't buying it. And as hard as it is for me to say it, this one ain't frankona's fault either.
